In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix NULL pointer dereference for DTN log in DCN401
When users run the command:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_dm_dtn_log
The following NULL pointer dereference happens:

This error happens when the color log tries to read the gamut remap information from DCN401 which is not initialized in the dcn401_dpp_funcs which leads to a null pointer dereference. This commit addresses this issue by adding a proper guard to access the gamut_remap callback in case the specific ASIC did not implement this function.
